Marian is a very welcoming school. Marian is also very challenging academically. For a student who excels when challenged, this school is a wonderful choice. The class sizes are small, so there is plenty of one on one learning and a great deal of collaboration among students in the classes. My daughter attends and is going to be a senior in the 2017-2018 year.

I recommend that you do NOT send your Child to this school!The principal and administrative staff of Marian do not carry out "its mission of fostering the growth and development of each individual in an environment of respect and accountability" as quoted on its own website. The principal and administrative staff of Marian desperately need to create a school climate where hateful acts are not tolerated by it's own students and provide a safe learning environment that is conducive for learning. This can only occur WHEN the principal and administrative staff of Marian stop fostering social injustice by continuously turning their heads away from the deplorable activities and behavior demonstrated by many of its own students and holding the offenders accountable. Only then the principal and administrative staff of Marian will be able to affectively addresses both the physical security and safety issues along with the psychological safety of each and every student. Sincerely, very concerned Registered Nurse

This review is solely based on value. Paying tuition for a school like Marian is better saved for college. Marian is not a highly respected private school. If you want to pay for high school age there are so many better private schools in the area. I just read a study that values private education for younger children has more value. If you can get your young child into a great school at a young age the principals of learning will serve them for the rest of their education. A lot of kids who are athletes choose private schools because they tend to have great athletic programs. Marian is a joke at athletics. It's a lose lose.

Our son has jsut completed his freshman year at Marian and has THRIVED! He has gone from an indifferent student to one who strives for the high honor role, and from a computer addict to an athlete and stage star. We couldn't be more pleased with the education and opportunities he has received.
